Patent CA-2376650-A1 (CA)
Title: Peptide conjugates for the stabilization of membrane proteins and interactions with biological membranes
Inventor: PRIVE GIL
IPC: C07K14/705
Filed: 2000-06-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a novel class of detergents referred to herein as lipopeptide detergents. Lipopeptide detergents comprise an amphipathic .alpha.-helical peptide having a hydrophobic or neutral face and a hydrophilic face. To each end of this peptide is covalently linked an aliphatic hydrocarbon tail, these aliphatic tails being linked thereto such that they associate with the hydrophobic or neutral face of the peptide. Lipopeptide detergents can advantageously be used to stabilize membrane proteins in the absence of a phospholipid bilayer in a manner that preserves the native conformation and permits the subsequent crystallization thereof.

Title: Methods and apparatuses for stretching polymers
Inventor: WELLMAN PARRIS S
IPC: C12Q1/6869
Filed: 2000-08-11
Abstract: The present invention provides structures and methods that allow polymers of any length, including nucleic acids containing entire genomes, to be stretched into a long, linear conformation for further analysis. The present invention also provides structures and methods for selecting and stretching polymers based on their lengths. Polymers are loaded into a device and run through the structures. Stretching is achieved by, e.g., applying shear forces as the polymer passes through the structures, placing obstacles in the path of the polymer, or a combination thereof. Since multiple molecules may be stretched in succession, extremely high throughput screening, e.g., screening of more than one molecule per second, is achieved.

Title: Structure for multisized surface
Inventor: HAMILTON JAMES
IPC: A47B1/10
Filed: 2002-05-24
Abstract: This compact Structure provides a means of increasing the size of the surface of such items as extension tables, platforms, and extension panels, to provide the option of two additional larger surface areas. These extensions are accomplished without requiring any movement in the supporting base. The Structure has four capital 'L' shaped grooved slots, cut into a flat surface, that are aligned to form a dislocated capital 'H' shape. These 'L' slots hold four principal Surface Leaves via a square or rectangular grooved holder fixed to each leaf. These holders slide along the 'L' slots producing an opening for the insertion of two facing insert leaves. The surface can then be opened further in the opposite direction and receive another longer insert leaf, which runs perpendicularly between the first two inserts. Further grooves, slots, and attachments in the Structure and insert leaves, accommodate the two extensions.

Then the first and second sets of measuring drums are alternatively moved from the first and second ready positions into first and second transfer positions, respectively, where the tire components are transferred to the one or more tire building drums. Then the first and second sets of measuring drums are retracted away from the first and second transfer positions, respectively, to the first and second ready positions. Finally the first and second sets of inner and outer measuring drums are alternatively moved between the first and second ready positions and the first and second loading positions so as to pass one another.

Abstract: A dry powder formulation for treatment of pulmonary conditions, via inhalation, includes an effective amount of formoterol or a salt or solvate thereof, in a dry powder form, an effective amount of fluticasone, in a dry powder form, and an excipient. A method for preparing a physically stable dry powder formulation for inhalation includes the steps of micronizing a first active polar drug, a second active non-polar drug, and a polar excipient. The second non-polar active drug is first blended with the excipient to form an intermediate mixture. The intermediate mixture is then blended with the first active polar drug. The increased separation of the polar drug and polar excipient stabilizes the formulation.

Title: Live cell procedures to identify compounds modulating intracellular distribution of phosphodiesterase (pde) enzymes
Inventor: TERRY BERNARD ROBERT
IPC: A61K31/00
Filed: 2001-04-11
Abstract: An alternative therapeutic approach for PDE4 inhibition is disclosed. PDE4 dislocators, will remove the PDE4 away from the native location in the cell and thereby increase the concentration of cAMP in this location. By dislocating the PDE4, and thereby not acting directly on the catalytic, among phosphodiesterase inhibitors, well conserved site, the compound will act e.g.  at the binding domain of the PDE4, thereby providing isoform-specific 'inhibitors' of PDE4. The dislocation of PDE4s are visualised with fusions to GFP. The native location is induced by treatment with Rolipram.

Title: Centrigugal pump having adjustable clean-out assembly
Inventor: HOOKER JAMES T
IPC: F04D29/42
Filed: 2001-05-15
Abstract: A centrifugal pump having an adjustable clean-out assembly (60), the position of which determines the face clearance between a wear plate (72) and an impeller (20). The clean-out assembly includes an end cover (63) that threadedly mounts a plurality of adjustment assemblies. The adjustment assembly includes an adjuster (104) that defines a through bore for slidably receiving a retaining stud (66) that extends from the pump housing. Each adjuster includes an abutment surface (108) which engages a pump surface and which establishes the face clearance between the wear plate and the impeller.  Each adjuster includes a hex-shaped head which is engageable by an associated locking member (120) secured to the end cover. Each locking member includes a locking collar (120a) having 18 teeth which allows the collar to engage the hex-shaped head of the adjuster in 18 different postions. By knowing the thread pitch of the adjuster thread, precise rotations of the adjuster can be used to establish a precise clearance between the wear plate and impeller.  Once the adjustment is made, the locking collar is secured to the end cover which enables the clean-out assembly to be removed from the pump without disturbing the adjustment.

Filed: 2002-12-30
Abstract: A context-free grammar can be represented by a weighted finite-state transducer. This representation can be used to efficiently compile that grammar into a weighted finite- state automaton that accepts the strings allowed by the grammar with the corresponding weights. The rules of a context-free grammar are input. A finite-state automaton is generated from the input rules. Strongly connected components of the finite- state automaton are identified. An automaton is generated for each strongly connected component. A topology that defines a number of states, and that uses active ones of the non- terminal symbols of the context-free grammar as the labels between those states, is defined. The topology is expanded by replacing a transition, and its beginning and end states, with the automaton that includes, as a state, the symbol used as the label on that transition. The topology can be fully expanded or dynamically expanded as required to recognize a particular input string.
